Find Clarity for Duane Retraction Syndrome with Advanced SALL4 Gene Testing
When your child’s eyes don’t move normally or you notice unusual eye positioning, it can be deeply concerning. Duane Retraction Syndrome affects eye movement coordination, often causing distress for both children and parents. Our SALL4 Gene NGS DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to understand this condition and plan the right treatment approach.
Understanding the SALL4 Gene Test
The SALL4 gene plays a crucial role in eye development during pregnancy. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Duane Retraction Syndrome – a condition that limits eye movement and causes abnormal eye positioning. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be causing the symptoms you’re experiencing.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic investigation that gives you and your ophthalmologist the complete picture needed for effective treatment planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential if you or your child experience:
- Limited ability to move eyes sideways
- Eyes that appear to retract into the socket when looking sideways
- Abnormal head positioning to compensate for eye movement limitations
- Family history of eye movement disorders
- Diagnosis of Duane Retraction Syndrome without genetic confirmation
- Planning for future family and wanting to understand genetic risks
Early genetic identification can significantly improve treatment outcomes and help families understand inheritance patterns.
Why This Test Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting a definitive genetic diagnosis provides numerous benefits:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Eliminate uncertainty and confirm whether SALL4 gene mutations are causing the condition
- Treatment Guidance: Help your ophthalmologist develop the most effective treatment plan
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future family planning decisions
- Peace of Mind: Reduce anxiety by knowing the exact cause of the condition
- Early Intervention: Enable timely treatment to improve visual outcomes
